Little White Lies

Broken promise after broken promise 
Chance after chance 
Seems like we always do the same dance 
When you slammed the door 
My heart hit the floor 
I ran to your car
On my knees 
I begged you not to leave 
You made it clear I’ll never be who you need 
Backing out of the driveway 
I watched my world slip away 
Now I’m lying here in bed 
Going crazy in my head 
Checking texts to see if they been read 
Wishing I could take back every tear you’ve shed 
I don’t have to ask myself why 
It was all because of my little white lies
